The old town of Kotor at the head of the Bay of Kotor, with the mountains behind it
Kotor · Where to stay

Staying in Muo and planning the walk to Kotor

A room opposite the old town can look close on a map, but the journey follows the head of the bay. In Muo, the important details are your position along the shore road and how far above it the entrance sits. Ask about pavement conditions on your particular stretch, especially if you expect to walk back after dinner.

Eating in Muo

Check the nearest meal options before committing to a longer stay. Choice varies along the shore, and a waterfront room does not guarantee a restaurant next door. If you plan to eat in the old town, include the return journey when deciding whether to walk or arrange a taxi.

Questions

Staying in Muo and planning the walk to Kotor

Can I walk straight across to the old town?

There is no pedestrian crossing across the water. The land route goes around the head of the bay, so allow for that detour.

Is the waterfront walk suitable for a pushchair?

Conditions vary, with narrow roadside sections and inconsistent pedestrian space. Ask your host about the precise route before relying on it with a pushchair.

Does a waterfront address mean there are no steps?

No. Buildings can rise behind the road, with entrances reached by stairs. Confirm access from the vehicle drop-off point to the room.
